Nature Retreat: Cozy Cottage with Panoramic Views, Perfect for Family & Friends Near Lyon & Clermont-Ferrand
Saint Victor-sur-Arlanc is located less than two hours from Lyon and Clermont-Ferrand, in a peaceful, wooded setting. In this small village, an old building has recently been renovated into a cozy and comfortable gîte named "Faune, Flore, Forêt." Upon entering, this name takes on its full meaning: large windows offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, and there's a good chance that during your stay you'll spot deer, foxes, or other forest dwellers! The interior design is remarkable: chandeliers, faucets, staircase, door panels—everything is unique and custom-made.
The layout is very well thought-out: three independent sleeping "modules" with their own bathrooms and a common room large enough for everyone to gather together! Let yourself be charmed; this gîte will be the ideal place for a stay with friends or family, combining conviviality, comfort, and privacy! On-site activities: Relaxation, nature observation, hiking or cycling, equestrian center, radio and electronic games museum...
Nearby attractions: the remarkable St. Robert Abbey in La Chaise Dieu, the villages of St. Jean d'Aubrigoux, Bonneval, or Jullianges (racecourse)... A little further afield: the town of Le Puy-en-Velay and its many UNESCO World Heritage buildings, the remarkable villages located in the Allier Valley or the Ance Valley... Rates include: utilities, bed and bath linens, and cleaning.
Shops and services in Craponne-sur-Arzon (9 km). The entrance to the cottage is through a hall leading to a large living area comprising a kitchen, a living room, and a lounge area, all opening onto a large terrace. A toilet completes this level.
On the first floor is the sleeping area, divided into three modules. Each module is equipped with a fold-away table, a tea bar, and a television.
The first module, "Forest," can accommodate 2 people and is equipped with a 140cm bed, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a toilet.
The "Flora" and "Fauna" modules can each accommodate 4 people and are equipped with a futon bed and a standard mezzanine bed, a shower, a bathtub, and a toilet.
Co-working space located directly next to the cottage.
The all-inclusive rate includes: bed and bathroom linens for the stay, end-of-stay cleaning (excluding dishes and trash), heating and electricity with reasonable consumption. If the cottage is heated by electricity, you have 15 kWh per day (any excess will be payable on site to the hosts).
Property managed by a professional. Unless stated, services such as cleaning, bed linen, towels etc. are not included in the price of this rental. If pets are allowed (information in the advertisement), charges may be applicable.
